Italian premium two-wheeler maker Italjet is preparing to enter India. The company will unveil three models, the Dragster 300, Dragster 459 and Dragster 700, at India Bike Week 2026 on December 4 and 5. All three will be assembled in Kolhapur, Maharashtra, and customer deliveries are planned to begin between April and June 2027.

The vehicles will be assembled at the Kolhapur manufacturing facility of Italjet's Indian partner, Motohaus. The design and engineering were done in Italy, and assembly and quality checks will be carried out locally accordingly. A waiting list for Indian customers will open in December 2026. Italjet plans to open retail centres initially in Mumbai, Delhi-NCR, Pune, Bengaluru, Chennai, Kochi and Hyderabad.

The Dragster 700 will be the top model of the three. It has a 698 cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine that produces 68 hp at 8,000 rpm and 67 Nm of torque at 5,500 rpm, paired with a 6-speed gearbox. Features include adjustable Marzocchi suspension, dual front disc brakes from Brembo, ABS, traction control and a colour TFT display.
